So You're a Real Life Cleric? Hmm...I Think Not So Much.

    I think I might finally be able to stick with doing this weekly or bi-weekly at this point. Just to keep all of you my dear readers wanting to see all the crazy quests that I go through in this adventure I call life. I know I had several months of slacking off. But let me tell you, there's been a lot of growing as I said in last weeks episode with our intrepid little Oracle. There's a lot on my plate but it seems to be something that I no longer need 3 of me to do. It's almost relaxing to finally have a moment to spare for myself sometimes or to do the downtime things I enjoy most. Especially when I get to share those things with my questing partner. Have I mentioned how lucky he makes me feel? Because he does, every single day. So very glad we were able to find each other in our questing and join forces in our daily adventures.

    So this week I want to speak about our lovely people who specialize in the First Aid Skill. I'd call them healers, but that's not always the case. Honestly sometimes I'd equate them closer to alchemists then someone who uses healing spells. So these people are supposed to help us with what ails us. They are people who are supposed to help us get better and move forward in life and with things of that nature. Let me tell you, that is seriously not always the case. It's appalling some of the things that happen when we spend our time and hard earned gold to go and see these people in hopes of either being healed or having them tell us there's nothing wrong and have a nice day.

    Well, with my new place in the Wizard's Tower, I finally have a plan which helps with the gold costs of these crazy "healers." It's helped immensely with some of the crazy injuries I've endured this fall and has helped in some other ways already. However this past Friday I went to see a new "healer." One of such who is supposed to be a general care person and the person I see yearly to make sure I'm still able to say that I am of good health. I was nervous and excited. It has been several years since I've been able to see a "healer" of this type. It's something I've needed, yet haven't been able to have due to lack of a plan or being able to find one who was taking new patients.

    I went in, and things started off well enough. I was asked a lot of questions about my past and my family's past. I answered as best as I could and continued on thinking all was well. They checked my heart beats, the rate at which my blood flows and some of my breathing to make sure all was well with that. He then started to inform me that I was healthy, except, I needed to loose weight. I was shocked and quite upset.

    Now, I am not a big person by any means. I've gained a little weight as of late due to the comfort and happy I have in my life, and I know that, but I don't look overweight or unhealthy by any means. Not to mention the fact that all of the women in his place of practice were at least two of me. So ultimately it made me feel horrible. He informed me I needed to start cutting things from my life that honestly aren't always that bad. The way he was talking it truly seemed as if he was trying to make me need to see him more often. By causing me to come down with an illness or weakness due to lack of nutrition. It was quite horrible.

    He proceeded to end my meeting with him telling me I was healthy, I just needed to be the lowest possible weight I could be. Of course after which I was given shots from needles which caused pain in my arms just about the entire weekend. But I went home unhappy.  I spent a good portion of Friday evening unhappy to the point where I didn't even go out to see some of my crew and end up cheered by spending time with them. Wasn't a good day. However, I did come to realize that if I am happy and HEALTHY (as he did keep stating over and over), that what he said shouldn't matter as much. Though it still angers me that people can be that judgmental when there really isn't a problem. Perhaps he was just projecting the things he wanted to tell those in his place of work onto me. But who am I to judge on that as well.

    This week so far has been ups and downs. Tuesday was a little rough due to some friction in a couple of area's of my adventuring. However Wednesday I came in to a note from my higher up telling me I was too good for my own good. Which was more proof that I do in fact belong here at the Wizard's Tower. I sometimes complain about it, but I truly do love my spot here and the work that I do. Today has been a day for me to sit at my desk, breaking the codes and predicting the amounts of things dancing in a seated fashion to the newest recordings from my favorite minstrels. So really I can't complain. Plus tonight when I get done here I get to see my adventuring partner and start the days I stay with him. Which also cheers up my mood greatly. Not sure what the plan is for the rest of the days this week / weekend. But hey, I'm ok letting what happens, happen.

    I also want to give a giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To one of my dearest and oldest members of my crew! He joined the ranks of being another year closer to being older then dirt (granted I reached that number 4 months ago), but still. He has been one of my friends for nearly  half of my life so far. One of those people who through thick and thin we are constant friends and though our adventures have brought us to different area's in life we have been crew members and family through it all. Talk about a person who's seen the worst and best of my life and me of his. Love you Cornfed as I KNOW you'll read this! ;)

    So now dear readers, I leave you to your day in peace. Wishing you the best time finishing up the week and this weekend. I am not positive I will be able to post next week as we have our day of eating, being thankful for things and time with family and friends half way through and a mini-vacation for me as for the first time since I can remember I actually have Black Friday off from work. So if I don't get here next week. Happy Thanksgiving, have a safe and wonderful day filled with family, friends, food and rest!

The Wizard's Tower and the Real Life Equipment Bonus'

    I know I've been a horrible blogger for a while now. I've been busy doing my dailies in real life. Spending time adventuring with my questing partner and trying to get to the point of being able to accomplish my big achievements that I've been working on so long. Life has been continuing in an upward direction from where I was even just 8 months ago. Good things are going on in life, love, with my dailies both in the Wizard's Tower (my job) and the rest of this adventure I call life.

    Today I'd like to talk about the other people who share my job here in the Wizard's Tower. The amount of giggle with our missives back and forth about all the things geek is fantastic. There have been many a day of long discussions about Star Wars, Doctor Who or even Portal. I don't believe I've ever had the level of camaraderie to this extent that I have here. I have found myself truly liking the job I have and the people I work with. Plus the amount of gold I manage to get for completing each daily helps with all of that as well. It's made me feel very happy that the Wizard's here liked me enough to allow this little Oracle to join the grind trying to get through all of our codes and transcriptions every day. The early hours that I must be here sometimes make me cringe, however, once I'm here, I enjoy working on the spells to make the day fly by.

     I have still been working on some of my bigger achievements, though I've gotten closer each day. Well, each paycheck really. Still trying to deal with fixing my life from the past year. However, I am happy to say, that has been a much easier process having a wonderful questing partner to help me through it all. He has become my partner, my best friend, a constant support and a wonderful person to have around and be around in pretty much every aspect of my life. I never have to hide who I am or what is going on in my life from him. I can be completely myself and he can be so with me as well. I am so happy to have him and that everything has worked out well for us together.

    As I come up on the anniversary of the worst year of my life I can honestly say. This year has been a lot of trials as well. However they have all been towards fixing the bad things that had happened a year ago. For that I am eternally glad and happy that the quests I've been given lately have been all about improving and moving forward in my Adventure of Life. I am so glad to have what I have, and am glad that things are moving forward on that front. I am so thankful for the daily quests I am given right now and SO grateful for those who have continued to help me through them and stand by me as I have basically had to start over from the ground up. Not a re-roll per say, just lost all my equipment and had to start again. So here we go. Onward and upward!
